CVRT.Screw clamp.Rear door i know these can be used to pull the final drive out to enable towing. My spartan being my spartan has one of the final drives stuck in. I am going to have to make a puller so need to make a threaded bar to screw in to the final drive. Being me i searched everywhere and while i found the part number i could not find a description of the CVRT.Screw clamp.Rear door, does anyone know the thread size and does anyone has a diagram of the final drive as the "pin" is totally missing and i need to replace it

does anyone have a part number or drawing of the plate please?

Working with a friend on a Scorpion starting to rebuild it back up. including in this is installation of 2 x 353's on the back shelf of the turret. My friend went and picked up what he thought were fixing brackets but it all appears to small, I have included a few pictures for reference. Has anyone got the part numbers or can provide pictures of what the real brackets should be, including part numbers. Cheers in anticpation Lance

Someone actually has one, but that's what I was thinking, don't suppose you could get contact number Lance

Right chaps, Petrol Spartan 40 years young and the exhaust box has more holes in it that was intended, had a quick look in the normal places and did find something in thexmod that looked simaler but my box has slotted pipes at either end while the xmod one looks hard welded at one end (FV781728). I am approaching a couple of custom exhaust places to see what they would charge for the box as it is not a "stock" size. Does anyone know if the xmod one is correct or knows of someone that will make one up Cheers

Email sent Cheers

Hi there, I haven't actually looked but I did speak to a mechanic who remembers it being points and he was going to swap it out before it was sold on. and i am trying to get ducks in a row as i hate starting then having to stop then starting again. So trying to get information so if it is i can order the parts rather than hunt around and order the parts.

Thanks you Terry, some one else made the same suggestion, but I had also read and heard that electronic is the way to to go and while things are apart I might as well think about swapping it out

No I am running from a new marine tank. It has been suggested that the "carb floats" may have become stuck. or some "debris" has become stuck in the carb's pipework/ jets.

Hi all, Does anyone know the part number and a supplier for an electronic Ignition for my Petrol Spartan. History for those interested I have been running round my Petrol Spartan in Alton (the Cold War Museum). It developed an issue were it was misfiring on tick over. I replaced the plugs and it sounded 100% better. Testing the removed plugs I found 2 were faulty, 1 completely dead the other worked after cleaning and re-gapping. While I was in there I took the air filter completely apart and to say it was fouled was an understatement. After cleaning and refilling with oil to the marks I put everything back together with the new plugs. Everything seemed ok on the few test runs I did. After letting a couple of people drive it round the field they mentioned it seemed to lack power, so sitting when warm, ticking over and engine revs went up ok when driving it about the engine seemed to lack grunt. So the plugs were removed and all 6 were found to be "sooty" black (dry). I cleaned them up and refitted them after finding one with no gap at all and one plug only hand tight (shoot the person who changed them before, that will be me then). This as all sorted, cleaned and put back in. The carb was reset and screws adjusted and she was restarted. Idle was achieved and she seemed to be running sweetly once more, however when taken for a test drive while the power had "improved" I was told it was not were it should be. My next port of call is the coil, distribution cap, points and leads, as well as testing the compression of each cylinder.

Have you actually contacted dvla and found out what they say? I have had the same chat with Nick myself, however I have heard the other people are still doing h license’s if so how? I have been in contact with dvla and been told I can instruct people to get there license, I just didn’t go that extra mile to find out what else is involved

Part 21. Anyone got one laying about they don't need 2590-99-823-8639 - FV793711 – SHUTE, CLIP CUPOLA; STEEL, CD PLATED, 2.688 IN LG, 1.664 IN W, 3.125 IN H If not anyone got any dimensioned drawings so i can make one?

No longer required, I ended up making one. Fitted and working well

Good catch, some of the new ‘smart’ chargers wouldn’t work as they would think there not connected to anything and you would have to ‘fool’ them with some dummy load .. i have that problem with my supply for my rust removal setup

any supply of 24v at 55 Amps is going to take some cooling, a fan and a half. Putting 240v through a transformer and rectifier will still produce some heat and fan. There are 3 elements inside the BV hence the current draw,

FV756564 .. 2540-99-810-5814 .. BRACKET, VEHICULAR COMPONENTS; 4.000 IN W, COMPRISES BRACKET, PILLAR SUPPORT AND COLLAR According to the book of parts. I have the backrest but not the bracket it sits in. So before I make one I wondered does anyone have one sitting around or the dimensions of the bracket to aid in the manufacture of a new one. Thanks guys

Well I fitted the wheel I had used the polymer glue on and did a few turns on an area of grass....................... The outer rubber came off left lots of polymer on the outer rubber and the wheel itself indicating I had managed to get good adhesion across the whole of the rubber and the rim, but it was not strong enough to withstand the sheering forces... Still I learnt something and had some fun playing...

E10 fuel: is the switch going to affect you? With E10 unleaded petrol replacing E5 as the standard petrol grade from 1 September 2021, find out if your car’s compatible with E10 and how does this fuel could affect your car. I have seen the post up to now, has anyone actually got any advice? or come the second are we all going to go bang? I did notice Jag Engines after 1992 are meant to be ok, Shame that is well later then our design.

When I did my h it was in an Argocat which had handlebars... but I know Nick told me they weren’t allowed to use it any more, so they sold it and brought a huge tractor thing

Having just done a c license and my bike license, the h license was a joke. 20 mins of an examiner walking beside you, turning left, right, stopping, reversing round a corner followed by 3 Highway Code questions. No wonder any can teach it

Tanks-a lot now use a tractor for their h license training, just mention it as you mentioned arigculture . Not sure what they are doing as a large of tanks-alot are off to play in the sand

I didn’t do cpc as I only want it to transport my Spartan around, but yes I imagine it adds a lot to the bill

I have just done c license for £1400 but that was everything, and not just 2 days

Anyone with an H license can actually do H licensing training so DVLA may not know where it is done. They will tell you where there are H Licensing examiners. I did my training with Tanks-alot
